Nice post, very inspirational!

Yep, boy with tands and dog are very expressive.

Very nice collection! I particularly like the rocket launch and the ones involving traffic.

Very nice post, love the rocket launch one

Motion blurs are a great effect, especially in live music photography.

sorry i have write bad the code :-)

Good post
Some of them are really inspirational,

hmm… I dint see any motion blur in the last one

Didn’t really see anything here up to the usual Smashing mag standard. This is all very predictable stuff. Found this Photographer tho who sems to really get motion blur ;

The last one is depth of field, not motion blur.

honestly, i did expect to be impressed or even moved by the pictures….but wow…these are just brilliant…much respect to the original artists…and of course you for sharing this great find.

Nice… hows about a posting about Government web design standards? Lot of people would love something on that.

beautiful,, very immpresive..

The guy on the dirt bike photo was lame. Looks like a 14 year old went to town with Photoshop.

No motion blur to speak of on the shark image.

lovely :)

A great list and some beautiful and creative photos. Thanks!

@Brian: “The guy on the dirt bike photo was lame. Looks like a 14 year old went to town with Photoshop.”

-That effect is achieved by manually zooming the lens while taking a lengthy exposure; the technique has been around long before Photoshop. Sorry the 14 year olds ruined it for you.

okokokok

@jack: “-That effect is achieved by manually zooming the lens while taking a lengthy exposure; the technique has been around long before Photoshop. Sorry the 14 year olds ruined it for you.”

I’d say the rather hard line between blurry/non-blurry parts of the image, combined with the fact that the clear portion is oval-shaped, is a good indicator of the shot’s shoppedness. Verdict: Brian wins.

beautiful…i like the one involves water and light effects…

thats awsome…. good work!

Unbelievable collection!

awesome collection

Simply Impressive ! Normally I comment on a particular thing that I like / don’t like but this time I am literally stuck for words. The only words that come to mind are : amazing, wonderful, brilliant ! A truly inspirational post indeed !

That dog is hilarious. :D

Most of the photos aren’t technically “motion blur” but time-lapse captures. Two different things.

Gr8 Collection of pics really inspiring!!

Such amazing and varied subjects this is one of the best collections I have seen in a while.

Reccomended

Gomi - Time-lapse photography is when many pictures of a scene are taken at regular intervals, usually over an extended period of time. Think pictures of a plant growing, and the shots composited into a movie showing the plant’s growth over several days/weeks.

But some of the material here is low quality/irrelevant/photoshopped - the author of the post has opted for quantity over quality.

The picture of the shark and fish has no motion blur, and the motorbike & gun photos look very photoshopped.

All but about 3 of the photos are from flickr - must have been such hard work to go to flickr and search for “motion blur”. Sorry, but this is a very low quality & lazy ‘article’.

Good Work. Reuters is the best

Wow! The one with the kid being spun around is an waward winner for sure! Beautiful.

I can feel the smashing,

Amazing motions, would been great if it was in a large size! it wont fit my 24″ iMac screen.

I loved the rocket one. =3

Pretty weak post.

That swing ride picture reminds me of the cover of DMB - “Under the Table and Dreaming”

beautiful pictures! yea the dog’s awesome

Nice article. Good way to start a Monday.

Many of these photographs are copyrighted and do not allow you to reproduce them here, particularly when SM is heavily pushing advertising and generating revenue from this type of content. Unless SM is rewarding the artists who spent time creating these works…which I’m sure it’s not.

Eye candy is money, you’re all hooked on eye candy, SM is filling its pockets thanks to you :)

wow!

Aww really nice!
I’d buy a photocamera only to go around and play with these amazing effects… If only i weren’t so lazy. :)

I should put up a pic of what a dog’s eye looks like after it’s been hit with a pebble at 50mph. Gross and badbadbad.

One word- Doggles!

reminds me of slow motion cameras

“http://88.198.60.17/images/motion-blur/Blurred%20vision.jpg”

No motionblur.

@ Jason R.
It IS the swing ride pictured on the cover of DMB’s CD.

uh..oh crap. Now the song Ants Marching just got lodged in my head. Great..

Nice post. That crazy photo above the first guy on the bike is rock. It’s just abstract enough to be right up my alley.

I loved the one with the rocks!

Thanks SmashingMagazine … I m glad that my website is been a part of SM Content !

Wirklich tolle Bilder mit Langzeitbelichtung.

wow… amazing

re motorcycle pic: interesting how you can see the knobs on the tires but the back ground is blurred - that would have to be one very fast zoom to blur the background and capture the tire.

Agreed: photoshop

Quite a load of awesome.

If your looking for a good photography tutorial or photography training site, Link [www.hobopublishing.com] is a really good one. They offer training on portraits, nudes, weddings, and alot more. They also have some stuff on lighting setups and posing guides. Check em’ out. The programs they have are real easy to use and very interactive. Hope that helps some.

nice! reminds me of this shot I took a while back with my younger brother and a beer bottle Link [escapepodone.deviantart.com]. Thanks for sharing this set. Inspirational as always :)Link [www.blog.epicerastudio.com]

There is no motion blur on 13th photo

He`s got madskills, what software did he use and camera ?

I enjoy the photos. I do agree with one photographer that you should ask before using OUR photos. I only found out because the “Meaning of Life” spiked in views. That being said. Thanks. And Wow! There are some nasty people in this world. Makes me at times want to be surrounded by barbwire to protect me from them. Breathtakingphotos…..Sean Gloster

I really enjoy this collection, anybody can post some other categories which has excellent collection.

thats gr8 !!

Great work, except the ones ‘photoshoped’ pic, THE MOTORBIKE.

Im working on it :)

While I appreciate that one of my photos was blogged here; however, many of those photos above picked from various Flickr photostreams are copyright photos. For those copyright photos, I do agree that the editor(s) should have the courtesy to ask the original photographer(s) for permission before republishing their content else where. I was never asked, but if I was, I would have said yes. It’s just common courtesy.

Really amazing!

Can somebody kindly explain to me how the mud slide picture was taken? Is this panning? How do I create such an effect?

Hi, wow!
I love these shots. I want to learn how to take that sort of thing with my new camera. Thanks for posting these photos.

amazing

interesting picture it very niceeeeeeeeee…

nice

very-very prestigious, thanks

nice selection of photos!!! I am very excited to go out and play a bit with my camera now!! :D

very very good stuff, this.

I have to agree that there are a few obviously PS’d images. The Motorbike image is a classic beginner PS attempt. The zoom lines lead into the helmet and all into the bike period. A zoomed exposure (in or out) would not look like this when the bike is moving at the rate it is.
How would you get the shutter speed to be so long in the light conditions and zoom for that length effect? I also completely agree with others regarding usage. Please ask permission.
Lastly on a light note: Where do you draw the line on shutter speed when you call it Motion Blur or Timed Exposure? Responses?

Regarding use of Rick Post’s (aka CapturedLight on Flickr) image. Technically SM hasn’t seemed to have copied your image, merely embedded a link to your publicly displayed image.

It’s a great image and I understand your disappointment, but if you don’t want to risk others exploiting your prized images, you shouldn’t have them on Flickr in the first place.

Rather, a Flash based online gallery is your safest bet.

On the other hand, you are receiving kudos just by your image being here, so maybe that’s not a bad trade off.

I came to this link via a newsletter from Link [www.photojojo.com], which a has a pretty huge following, so expect more clicks coming your way. Good Luck.

Nice Posting on Motion Blur . !!!
